Tiny Little Curiosities
I have posted a number of photos from my garden recently: Reaching Up Alien Plant Farm Jade Droplets Papillion Grasshopper, Munching. Here are three more photos from my garden: The wasps have built a nest on the fairy lights that hang across the roof of my patio. I need to spray them as they…

Grasshopper, Munching
You may have recently read my post about the caterpillars that have taken up residence in my lime tree. I’m quite fascinated with them and I try to check on them every day or two to make sure that the birds haven’t gobbled them up. While I’m out in the garden, I take my camera…

Papillion
Another stroll through my little back garden has revealed more aliens (you can find the previous aliens here). These aliens are masquerading as caterpillars! I have a lime tree, I’ve had it for about 10 years maybe? I had it in a pot when I was renting a little house and moved it to my…

Highest of High Teas
For Justine’s Eclectic Corner #10 Tea Time Event, I am bringing us a decadent and elegant high tea. Last weekend was a weekend full of celebrations – my best friend’s birthday dinner, drinks, lunch the next day, shopping, and then we celebrated her mum’s birthday on the Sunday with High Tea. What a beautiful high…

Helix
I went on a a day trip for work to our nation’s capital last week. The capital city of Australia is Canberra, which is within The Australian Capital Territory, which is then located within the state of New South Wales. It’s about 2 hours drive from Sydney. I flew down from Brisbane, which is…

Afloat, Above and Below
For the Weekly Photo Challenge – Afloat. I just had to include the shots from the plane, many of you know how I love to take photos from the airplane window – I have so many of them! The clouds seem to just float along as the plane floats past them, such a surreal experience…

Image Reboot #1
Welcome to the first instalment of Image Reboot – a monthly feature partnering with Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic, and designed to give you some insight into how I go about editing photos in Lightroom. I am, by no means, an expert and I have taught myself how to use it, which means I am still…

Roses are Red… and Yellow…
When I take a photo, I’ve almost always decided already whether it’s going to be a colour or a monochrome image. I have the luxury of seeing it both ways when I edit them. I love seeing an image come together, the stunning change as it’s converted to crisp clean monochrome… I also enjoy the…

Reaching Up
I have had this asparagus fern since I moved to Brisbane 15 years ago and my mum and dad had it at their place for many years before that. It’s fairly neglected, but seems to thrive. Every couple of years I re-pot it. I want to separate it out into a long line of plants…

The Moon of Blood… Or Cheese?
I’ve never tried to take photos of the moon before. I don’t know why, I’m quite fascinated by astronomy but I don’t really know a lot about it. I was SO looking forward to the Blood Moon this weekend. I even put a calendar entry in my phone for “Pink Moon” to remind myself. I…

Blur
For the week’s Weekly Photo Challenge, we are prompted with the word Blur. At Christmas, it was very hot here in Brisbane and Gidget was cooling herself in the air conditioning so I took thee two shots, where I’ve moved the focal point between two different spots to create a blurred background, and a blurred…

Alien Plant Farm
It’s intriguing what a macro shot can show you. On my recent walk through my garden, I took these two photos. I find them to be quite strange and almost alien-like structures. I think they make great freaky additions to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. This first one is a small pest with a milky sap…
